Ridig with no Tax / No Registration.

You need to tell this knobster friend that he's being a complete divi and that picking up the soap for a month might not be such a good idea if said anal virginity is to be preserved

It will be insured for theft only until the Tax and Registration are complete (1st march). If he rides it on the road before 1st march he will be riding an unregistered, untaxed and uninsured bike. This info comes from my neighbour who is a high ranking traffic cop.

Thanks for all the info guys - especially Dave for the info from a traffic cop - i've passed this onto my knob faced knobster of a 'friend'

He tells me he has aranged to go into work on the 29th (in the car) so he is not sat at home listening to the naughty voices in his head telling him to go for a ride.

However as rictus pointed out - the insurance is unlikely to be valid if its not road legal - thats a whole different kettle of fish with much more serious consequences that i wouldn't be prepaired to risk.

I thought to get tax you need to have valid insurance - so if you also have an invalid registration then this would mean he would be riding without tax or insurance.

Can he not wait a day? An 08 plate will stick out like a sore thumb, especially to the cops out there that arent too keen on bikers!

Was thinking the same thing - my thoughts had been to stick my old SV (still my bike even thou under insurance negotiation) 06 plate on my bike and swap them at midnight on the 1st

Best leave it with the dealer until then tho I think

Its here now - sat on my drive gleaming in the sun - all nice and shiney!

Blimey - this is harder that i thought it was gonna be. I can't even concentrate on my job. I've got a customer agreement to draft before the end of the day and i haven't even started it - just keep going outside to dust it and admire it.

Wifey and will be home with baby in a minute - am gonna get her to hide they keys for me before i do something stupid.
